He hinted the government would maintain a flow of funds from commercial lenders by raising the interest rate. Currently. borrowers can get a National Housing Act loan at 51A per cent. The govern- meflt has made attempts to B9! "19 lenders to agree to 656 per cent un- der the new system.

Mr. Bryden suggested, however. that a volume of funds would be forthcoming if the rate was raised to 556 per cent.

Chairman David Croll (L-To- ronic Bpadlna) asked if Mr. Bry- den does not believe the new Can- adian scheme is as good as the federally-guaranteed housing loans in the United states. or ever bet-

ter.

Mr. Bryden replied that he is not familiar with the American plan. Mr. Croil suggested the cur- rent Cansdisn interest rate of his per cent was comparable to the American rate of 456 Per cent-

Mr. Bryden said that everything else being equal. the rates could be comparable.

Gives Interesting Talk

-Dr. J. F. Heard. director of David Dunlop Observatory at Rich- mond Hill, Ontario, paid his an- nual vislt to the Central Navi- gation School, at" R.C.A.F. Station. Summerside, this week to lecture to the specialist navigation course and to staff members. He gave two very interesting lectures on ”ilei'raciiori in celestial observa- tions at low altitude” and "The forthcoming eclipse of the sun."

Dr. Heard can speak with auth- ority on these subjecls as head of the Department of Astronomy St the University of Toronto and as president of the Royal Astron- omical Society of Canada.

His talk on the forthcoming total eclipse of the sun was of particular interest because for many Canadians this may be the first opportunity to observe this phenomenon of the universe.

This eclipse of the sun is to occur soon after sunrise on June .30, 1954. The path of totality will be. approximately 80 miles in width and will extend from near Minneapolis in a north-eastwardiy direction across Lake Superior, passing just west of Kapuskaslng and across the southern tip of James Bay.

From there it will pass through northern Labrador, the south tip of Greenland, south of Iceland, across Scandinavia, Poland, the Ukraine, Afghanistan, and ending in Northern India.

The period of totality in North- ern Ontario will be for approxi- mately 1 1-2 minutes.

A number of organizations, in- cluding the University of Toronto and the Dominion Observatory, are making extensive preparations tc take scientific observations of this eclipse from stations in Northern Ontario.

In conclusion, Dr. Heard men- tioned a few interesting sidelights nn e eclipse. Firstly, he men- tone the fact that although us- ually two. and frequently as many as five total eclipses occur each year, it is a rare ex erience for an individual to actua ly witness a total eclipse of the sun because of the narrow path of totality He stressed the importance of making individual effort to ob- serve this very interesting phen- omenon.

None Total In P.E.l.

Secondly. none of the paths have crossed Prince Edward Island since records of eclipses were kept in Canada. Dr. Hearrl produced charts to prove that all eclipses since 1547 had missed this little Island.

He referred to another chart listing all eclipses up to the year

2025 and again none of the paths-

of totality would cross P. E. I.

AI third point mentioned was that the chances of a person ob- serving a total eclipse of the run in a normal We span are very slim if this individual remains in the place of his birth all his life.

After referring to his chart, 11-. Heard stated that the next total eclipse in iihstsrn Canash will oc- ourininoaandinthiseclipseths path of totaiiw will crou Northem Ontario, southern Quebec and the Southern Mari-times.

A point of particular interest to flying pemso ' was the statement that an aircraft off the southern coast of Ciresnl " dur- ing this pciod of totality on June 30th might give the crew the dis- tinction of being the first in re- corded history to actually observe the aurora durux the myllght hours. i

Dr. Heard was of the opinion that much might be learned about the numcious northern lights by such onl.

Will-Aiiegmi Games

By ALAN HARVEY

Canadian Press staff Writer DONDON. (AP)-All but four of 27 athletes tentatively considered to represent England in track and field events at the British Emplru Games in Vancouver will go if they get the nod. a survey shows One possible performer gave a definite refusal and three were un- certain because of "family reas- cns". The 23 who are willing and able to go if chosen includes such

standouts as Roger Bannister, Chris Chataway and marathoner Jim Peters.

The -four who gave negotlve cr uncertain answers were not na.n- ed but presumably the one refusal came from Gordon (Puff Puff) Pirie, who has said he will pass up the Empire Games in favor of the European hampionships -at Bern. Switzerland. late in August. The lknpire Games. July 30 to Aug. 1

Tuuday'e advance word on plans for the summer games was given by L. R. Truelove. honorary team manager of the Amateur Athletic Association. His anouncement was based on results of s ouestionslre sent to a "mobable list" of 27 athletes.

Aitiiougti noting that final sn"r- tlons will not be made until June ll. two days after England's AAA charnpionmips, Truelove said-

"I feel sure that this will be bv far the strongest team ever to represent England at the Empiri- Games. and I anticioste outstand- imrlv high performances.”
